VCE Systems Engineering: Administrative information for Schoolbased Assessment in 2019 Units 3 and 4 School-assessed Task The School-assessed Task contributes 50 per cent to the study score and is commenced in Unit 3 and completed in Unit 4. Teachers will provide to the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) a score against each criterion that represents an assessment of the student s level of performance for Unit 3 Outcome 1 and Unit 4 Outcome 1. The recorded scores must be based on the teacher s assessment of the student s performance according to the criteria on pages 8 15. This assessment is subject to the VCAA s statistical moderation process. The 2019 Systems Engineering assessment sheet on page 20 is to be used by teachers to record scores. The performance descriptors for the assessment criteria are published annually on the Systems Engineering study page of the VCAA website and notification of their publication is given in the February VCAA Bulletin. Details of authentication requirements and administrative arrangements for School-assessed Tasks are published annually in the VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook. The Authentication record form on page 18 is to be used to record information for each student and must be made available on request by the VCAA. The School-assessed Task has two components. Unit 3 Outcome 1 Unit 4 Outcome 1 Teachers should be aware of the dates for submission of scores into VASS in June for criteria 1 3 and November for criteria 4 8. These dates are published in the VCE Important Administrative Dates and Assessment Schedule, published annually on the VCAA website. www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/pages/schooladmin/admindates/index.aspx VCAA, January 2019

Unit 3 Integrated and controlled system Outcome 1 On completion of this unit the student should be able to investigate, analyse and apply concepts and principles, and use components to design, plan and commence production of an integrated and controlled mechanical and electrotechnological system using the systems engineering process. Nature of task A record of investigation, design, planning and production and Preliminary production work to create a mechanical and electrotechnological integrated and controlled system. Unit 4 Systems control Outcome 1 On completion of this unit the student should be able to finalise production, test and diagnose a mechanical and electrotechnological integrated and controlled system using the systems engineering process, and manage, document and evaluate the system and the process, as well as their use of it. Nature of task Completion of production work accompanied by a record of progress and modifications (images and text material) and A record of diagnostic testing and performance data and A report that evaluates and suggests improvements to the system with reference to the factors that influenced its creation and to the student s use of the systems engineering process VCAA, January 2018 Page 2

Scope of task The record of investigation, design, planning and production should reflect the systems engineering process within the cross-study specification on page 9 10 of the VCE Systems Engineering Study Design (2019 2023) and the factors that may influence the design, planning, production and use of an integrated and controlled system. The record must include the following: a design brief, developed by the student, which identifies and documents the problem/need/ opportunity/ situation requiring a systems engineering solution, and the context, constraints and considerations that apply, including reference to the factors that may influence the design, planning production and use of a system initial research and identification of existing components, systems or subsystems to produce the required outputs that could represent a response or solution (in part or as a whole) to the design brief, and their function, operation, concepts and principles relevant criteria for evaluating the integrated, controlled system and the student s use of the systems engineering process. These should be drawn from the design brief and link to the stages of the systems engineering process and factors that influence the creation and use of system. Evaluation criteria for the system can be written as a statement or question, with each having a justification and explanation of its relevance to the design brief, and how it can be checked or tested when the system is completed research to produce ideas for the design options that addresses factors influencing the design, planning, production and use of the system, including function, user needs and requirements, components, materials, environment the system will be used in, safety, the ways waste and energy can be minimised and associated costs. Additional factors may include Australian and quality standards and regulations, styling and appearance, performance and durability, size, maintenance requirements and production methods (including machinery and equipment needed to make the system). Students must accurately cite all primary and secondary sources of information used appropriate reference to the function and operation of mechanical and electrotechnological components (including those used for control), and the application of relevant concepts and principles in identifying solution options to meet the requirements of the design brief. Calculations should be used to inform function and/or performance of components, sub-systems and systems to achieve required outputs. Appropriate use should be made of diagrammatic and symbolic representation and technical language design alternatives and options and selection of the preferred option. Three or four design options should be developed. The alternatives and options must relate to the design brief and describe components and subsystems that constitute potential solutions. Sketches, drawings and diagrams must show annotated references to proposed specifications, processes, materials or components and the relevance to the design brief. The justification of the preferred option must be clearly indicated design and modelling of the integrated controlled system, including computer simulation and modelling, sketches, block (input-process-output [IPO]) and flow diagrams, working drawings, annotations, programming, printed circuit board [PCB] artwork for the configuration, assembly, integration and resourcing of manufactured systems, subsystems and components intended to produce an operational controlled system VCAA, January 2018 Page 3

components and materials list, including sources and cost using a project management approach, the development of a production timeline and work plan including sequence of operations, processes and intended tools, equipment and machines, proposed methods of diagnostic testing, for the manufacture of the integrated system and all accompanying risk assessments for production work and diagnostic testing a record of progress that includes photographic evidence of production work (for example, logbook or photo journal), including decisions made and notes of modifications with justifications. In Unit 4, the diagnostic testing report and performance data will include references to ongoing diagnostics and the adjustments or modifications made to ensure optimal performance, and also to the results of at least one test carried out on the student s completed system to assess the functioning and performance of the integrated system with a control device. When undertaking test procedures students need to document, using technical language: the purpose of the test procedural steps (including risk assessment and management) to perform the test, including the equipment used (documentation should include images) expected results actual results of the test in quantified (numerical) form, including international system [SI] units and technical terms application of formulas to calculate and determine mechanical and electrical parameters modification or repairs made as a result of the diagnostic testing explanation of the results. Students are also required to produce an evaluation report. This report includes: an evaluation of the operational integrated controlled system an evaluation of the use of the systems engineering process, including effectiveness of documentation and efficiency of management of the project and their work processes and practices identification of how the factors that may influence the design, planning, production and use of the system were taken into account modifications and areas for further improvement in the system One integrated controlled system only is to be completed over Units 3 and 4. Students cannot score highly if the system is not integrated or does not incorporate control either as a closed or open loop. By the end of Unit 3 the production work should be partially constructed. By the end of Unit 4 the production work will result in an operational product in the form of an integrated system with some means of control, i.e. a system that is a functional integration of a mechanical subsystem (includes pneumatic, hydraulic) and an electrotechnological subsystem (includes microelectronic). All systems must be compliant with safety standards, regulations and Australian Standards. Risk assessment and risk management must be addressed throughout the design, planning, construction, testing and operation of the system, consistent with safety standards, laws and regulations. Teachers VCAA, January 2018 Page 4

must record individual student adherence to safety procedures and project management on the Systems Engineering Teacher additional comment sheet on page 19. Where appropriate, students should use information and communications technology (ICT) in the record of investigation, design, planning and production and documenting diagnostic testing and in the evaluation report. Teachers must sight and monitor the development and documentation of the student s work on a regular basis. The Authentication Record Form for the Systems Engineering Schoolassessed Task on page 18 should be used for monitoring students work in progress for authentication purposes. This sheet must be available if requested by the VCAA. Note that for the School-assessed Task, students must work on their own design and production work. It is not a group project. Safety Please refer to the information under Safety and welling on page 7 of the study design for specific information about electrical safety. VCAA, January 2018 Page 5

Advice on the use of the 2019 Systems Engineering Teacher additional comment sheet The purpose of the 2019 Systems Engineering Teacher additional comment sheet published on page 19 is for the teacher to document student production skills, for the purpose of the School-based Assessment Audit. Teachers should make ongoing notes of observations of each student during the production of the School-assessed Task on the comment sheet, which provides teachers with the opportunity to present written information that may be required to support the School-based Assessment Audit. As the production work for the School-assessed Task occurs over a period of time, the Systems Engineering Teacher additional comment sheet can also assist teachers in their record keeping. Teachers may find it useful to refer to the comments on the sheet when assessing the four criteria related to the production work. The criteria related to the production work for Systems Engineering are Criteria 4, 5, 6 and 7. These criteria relate to the key knowledge and skills listed in the study design. The following information and questions are provided to assist teachers with the type of information they should include on the Systems Engineering Teacher additional comment sheet. Teachers are not expected to separately address each question listed below for each student. Rather, the questions are intended to provide guidelines as to what information teachers should record. Criterion 4. Use of tools, equipment and machines to make the system Did the student demonstrate competence and technical skill in the use of a range of tools, equipment and machines? Did the student safely carry out a range of processes (including simple and complex) in the production of the product? (Processes that are not evident in the record of design, planning and production or the production work could be noted.) Did the student follow their own or teacher-generated risk management processes? Did the student show a practical understanding of the relationship between the production sequence, processes and timelines? Did the student show a practical understanding of the systems concepts and principles? Was there a level of independence demonstrated by the student when applying the processes? Criterion 5: Realisation of an integrated controlled system Is the product functional or non-functional (or has it at some stage been functional)? (Please note that functionality or performance of the product may relate to the way the student has used the tools and equipment.) What does the style and appearance look like? (Parts that may be hidden should be considered in making this comment.) Does the product perform in the intended way (i.e. the expected output) as outlined in the design and production work plan or as documented in the modifications? VCAA, January 2018 Page 6

Criterion 6: Use of diagnostic test procedures and interpreting test data Has the student been able to plan and carry out diagnostic testing with little assistance and direction? Have the appropriate procedures been followed? Was testing equipment (devices to locate faults and measure performance) selected and used appropriately and accurately? Did the student use relevant technical information to assist in planning and carrying out test procedures (if not included in documentation)? Did the student make necessary modifications or carry out repairs so the systems would work or perform more effectively? Criterion 7: Project management to realise the preferred option Was the student well organised? Did the student use time efficiently? Did the student use resources effectively and efficiently? Did the student make appropriate selections and use of materials, components, methods of assembly and conventions? Did the student make these selections independently and/or follow advice given by the teacher? VCAA, January 2018 Page 7

Authentication of VCE Systems Engineering School- Assessed Task (SAT) Teachers are reminded of the need to comply with the authentication requirements specified in the VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook 2019. This is important to ensure that undue assistance [is] not provided to students while undertaking assessment tasks. Teachers must be aware of the following requirements for the authentication of VCE Systems Engineering School-assessed Tasks: 1. The Systems Engineering integrated controlled system created for the School-assessed Task (SAT) is based on Unit 3, Outcome 1 and Unit 4, Outcome 1. 2. Teachers are required to fill out the Authentication Record Form and provide the student with feedback on their progress at each observation. 3. Students are encouraged to research all aspects of their proposed production in detail, but the work undertaken for their record of investigation, design, planning and production must be their own. Teachers are reminded that it is not appropriate to provide detailed advice on, corrections to, or actual reworking of students drafts or productions or folios. 4. The SAT is not a group project and students must work on their own design and production work for the entire SAT. 5. During the planning stage, teachers should make clear to students that the written documentation and visual representations, required as part of the student s record of investigation, design, planning and production, form the basis for authentication of their work. For example, students are required to submit sketches, drawings and diagrams to show annotated references to proposed specifications, processes, materials or components and the relevance to the design brief. All notes should be dated and clearly documented to enable teachers to authenticate students work. 6. The annotated design options are part of the student s record of investigation, design, planning and production, and are a key reference for assessment of the system, which should be maintained and updated throughout the production process. The student s record of investigation, design, planning and production, together with the authentication record form, informs the teacher about how the student refers to the proposed specifications, processes, materials or components and their relevance to the design brief. 7. Teachers should make ongoing notes of observations of each student during the production of the SAT on the Systems Engineering Teacher additional comment sheet. The sheet provides teachers with the opportunity to present written information that may be required to support the Schoolbased Assessment Audit. As the production work for the School-assessed Task occurs over a period of time, the Systems Engineering Teacher additional comment sheet can also assist teachers in their record keeping. Teachers may find it useful to refer to the comments on the sheet when assessing the four criteria related to the production work. Some skills, particularly those relating to the use of tools, equipment, machines and safety measures may not be clearly documented by the student. Risk assessment and risk management must be addressed throughout the design, planning, construction, testing and operation of the integrated controlled system, consistent with safety standards, laws and regulations. Teachers should supply written information based on observations of the student during practical work sessions, including VCAA, January 2018 Page 16

individual student adherence to safety procedures and project management, on the Systems Engineering Teacher additional comment sheet. 8. Teachers must sight and monitor the development and documentation of the student s work on a regular basis in order to record each student s progress as part of the authentication process. The Authentication Record Form Systems Engineering School-assessed Task sheet must be completed by the class teacher to monitor the student s work-in-progress for authentication purposes. The student must declare that all resource materials and assistance used have been acknowledged and that all unacknowledged work is their own. 9. Any use of external support and/or equipment must be documented in the student s record of investigation, design, planning and production (for example, if a student uses equipment sourced from outside the school or uses prefabricated material, such as a powder coated steel frame or a complex circuit board, as part of their integrated controlled system). This is to ensure that any use of external support and/or equipment is appropriately limited and that the student does not receive undue assistance. All use of external support must be planned and documented in the student s record of investigation, design, planning and production and teachers must certify that such support does not constitute undue assistance. 10. Photographs taken during the production process must be true and accurate representations of a student s work. This ensures the integrated controlled system can be authenticated as a realisation of the design brief developed by the student and that the student is not receiving undue assistance in the production stage. This in turn ensures that all students are assessed equitably. All photographs should be dated. 11. Teachers are reminded that the authentication procedures are required to be followed for all student work in relation to this SAT. School-based audits include the inspection of authentication records. Where authentication records are not provided, the school is automatically audited the following year. Authentication records will also be required to be forwarded for all works nominated for Seasons of Excellence awards in 2019. Incomplete authentication records will result in an automatic disqualification of the student work from the nomination process. VCAA, January 2018 Page 17

Authentication record form: VCE Systems Engineering Schoolassessed Task 2019 This form must be completed by the class teacher. It provides a record of the monitoring of the student s work in progress for authentication purposes. This form is to be retained by the school and filed.
